See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Why do different colleges have different MBBS fees?
Fees vary because they are set based on the college's type (government vs. private), location, infrastructure, and regulatory approval. Government colleges charge significantly less than private colleges. Private colleges in metros like Noida and Ghaziabad charge more than those in smaller cities. All fees are approved by DGME UP under the Private Professional Educational Institutions Act, 2006.
Is the fee I see in this notice the total cost of my MBBS course?
No. This is the annual tuition fee only. You will also pay hostel fees, mess charges, examination fees, and other miscellaneous charges, which are separate. Your college will provide a complete fee breakdown at admission. The tuition fee must be paid every year for the duration of your course.
What if my college is not listed in this fee table?
Contact your college's admission office or the DGME UP office immediately. Do not assume or guess the fee. Every recognized MBBS college in UP must have its fee approved and listed. If your college is missing, it may be a new college or there may be an error—clarify before paying anything.
Can a college charge more than the fee shown in this notice?
No. The fees in this notice are the maximum that any college can charge for tuition. If a college demands more, it is violating the regulations. Report such colleges to DGME UP immediately. You have the right to pay only the approved fee.
When do I have to pay the fee?
The exact payment deadline will be mentioned in your seat allotment letter and on the counselling portal (upneet.gov.in). Typically, you must pay within 3–7 days of receiving your allotment. If you do not pay by the deadline, your seat may be cancelled and offered to the next candidate.
What if I cannot afford the fee?
Check with your college about scholarships, fee waivers, or installment options. Some colleges offer concessions for economically weaker candidates or merit-based scholarships. You can also explore government loans or educational finance schemes. Contact your college's financial aid office for details.
Is this fee the same for all rounds of counselling?
Yes. The fee structure applies to all candidates admitted in 2026-27, regardless of which counselling round (first, second, stray vacancy, etc.) they are allotted in. The fee does not change between rounds.
Do I have to pay the full year's fee upfront, or can I pay in installments?
This notice specifies the annual fee amount but does not detail payment schedules. Some colleges may allow installments; others may require full payment upfront. Check with your college's admission office about their payment plan options.
Check the fee table carefully against your allotted college's name and location. Confirm the exact amount with your college before counselling seat acceptance. Keep this notice and all fee receipts for your records throughout your MBBS course.
